If you have an Android Use tool, chances are you’re quite hyped regarding the current software update. Other than boosting upon the UX, Android Wear 5.1.1 – which still hasn’t strike the Moto 360 – had the ability to open inactive WiFi radios situated on most of tools. Naturally, we understand the LG G View certainly had not been on that particular list, yet for the LG G Enjoy R, things were a little wishy-washy.

Whereas the initial G See didn’t have the required hardware, the LG G Watch R (it’s round brother or sister) really does, it’s simply that for whatever reason would not be enabled in 5.1.1. Rapid ahead to today where an LG spokesperson is now claiming a future maintenance launch will, in truth, trigger the LG G See R’s covert WiFi functionality. Baseding on the declaration provided to AndroidWorld, LG intends to push out this update at some time in the Third quarter.

‘LG Watch Urbane is the only wearable gadget Currently shipping with the most up to date variation of Android Wear OS and is Wi-Fi capable out of the box. The original LG G Watch was not developed with Wi-Fi in mind as well as will certainly not have this capability also after the Android Wear upgrade. LG G View R will certainly need an upkeep launch after the patch update to Android Wear-access Wi-Fi networks. LG designers are preparing the spot now for accessibility in the 3rd quarter.’

So, if the absence of WiFi was a make-or-break for you, don’t worry. In a couple of months time, you can anticipate the LG G Watch R to link to WiFi networks the like a lot of other Android Put on smartwatches. Anybody which already bought the watch, feeling better now?
